    Roger's facial expression here is one of mockery.

    Much like SPECTRE, Bond has no black dinner suit in this one, opting for white.

    Another great Roger expression just before he says" The name's Scaramanga."

    If I ever get knocked out from behind, I should remember to make that little sound Roger does just before he's out cold.

    Bond in shool.


    I love this bit. Bruce Lee had passed on by the time this film was out. I've been to his grave with Brandon Lee's.

    Bond is challenged to fight.

    One of the funniest fight scenes in all the Roger's, IMO.

    Now it's time for Hip to kick some a$$.

    The nieces fighting is funny, but Hip's fighting is even funnier.

    I wonder who played the little kid Bond tosses into the water?

    He's quite obnoxious and I love every scene he's in.

    The Special Edition DVDs from 1999/2000 are pre-Lowery. IMO, Lowery did some good work, but tampered too much with the colors, and made some changes. The strobe light effect, and freezing the earth tremor shot of Stacey's mansion.
    They also removed the wires on the model plane in GOLDFINGER.

    Personally I prefer to see the films are they appeared originally.

    Time for Goodnight to go in the closet for 2 hours.

    When Andrea says it was a double feature, I think she should have said:

    "It was a double feature. DRACULA A.D. 1972 and SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA."

    Lee's least favorite Dracula films.

    I love Goodnight's reaction when JW takes over the walkie talkie.

    JW's shirt reminds me of Craig's in CASINO ROYALE.

    Thanks for the info! Would have been interesting to see the pre-Lowery stuff. I have the films on VHS, but unfortunately I don't have a working VHS player.

    Anytime. I have a few Bonds on VHS as well. Even the VHS re-issues have differences. In 1992, all the Bonds were digitally remastered for VHS, and many looked quite different from the original films. The Nile scene with Anya, for instance. Instead of that beautiful golden sunset on most versions, the 1992 tape had a bluish hue. Similar to Lowery's OHMSS PTS.
    Also, the "starring Sean Connery" credit in DR NO changed those red blinking 007 boxes to green.
    There was also a VHS version of TB in that series that somehow erased the title fonts up until "Ian Fleming's THUNDERBALL". Odd they would let an error like that slip by.

    TLD by Lowery, is one that I feel looks nothing like the actual film. The earlier SE DVD has the original color timing. Again, very noticeable in a sunrise shot after Bond and Kara make-out. The beautiful golden hues now de-saturated by Lowery.

    Bond tucks his gun in his pants and loses it.
    It's dark down there.

    Think it's the 1992 VHS editions I have. Why did they do all these changes (both for the VHS stuff and the DVD's)? It only makes me wonder what I've missed out on!

    I think the charm of older movies (even if remastered) is to keep them as close to the original as possible.

    I think the coloring issues on the DR NO titles for those tapes were just an error. Same with the missing credit titles on TB.


    If you have the 1992 tapes, those used the poster artwork on the boxes.
    The later GOLDENEYE era re-issues used original artwork, often photo-shopped close ups of Bond. Those tapes, had similar transfers, but seemed to fix the errors made previously. They looked pretty good, really, and I believe those versions were the basis for the transfers on the SE DVDs.
